Exit Via Eastgate

[user46298]

Peter Eastgate just busted his right-hand-side neighbour, who was a Scandinavian gentleman who looked very familiar and was wearing a phenomenal rhinestoned T-shirt with a big picture of a skull with a sword through its head. If my camera hadn't run out of batteries I would have snapped a picture of him as he exited just for that...

Anyway, I saw a long dwell going on on the river of a {7-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} board. Exited-Skull-Tshirt-Guy had bet a little over 10k and Eastgate had plonked in enough yellow 5k chips to cover his opponent. Some torture was clearly being visited on him - he had about 30k left and the pot was now 43k, and he looked at his six chips and Eastgate's little tower of them for quite some time.

A genuine decision - the rest of the table sat patiently for a couple of minutes as an expressionless Eastgate waited for a decision to be made.

Finally he called, but mucked when seeing Eastgate's monstrous {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} house. Oddly, he then stayed by the table for a while amiably talking about the hand with his eliminator - I think someone said the two of them are friends - before finally heading railwards.
